Simple concept but need more variety.

pht59x 2014-12-09 20:51

Not enough action !

guimonpa 2014-12-09 20:51

Simple but fun. And hard.

blobby101 2014-12-09 20:55

Pretty fun idea, could do with some way of avoiding the players a bit better though - as it is you're doomed to get caught fairly quickly

ajayajayaj 2014-12-09 21:14

Liked it!

leffe108 2014-12-09 21:18

Interesting concept, but a bit hard. Maybe add some way for the animal to jump up on the goals?

rodobodolfo 2014-12-09 22:04

0:23 Secs... Fun but hard!

5k0d 2014-12-09 22:09

funny! simple!

5k0d 2014-12-09 22:12

Very funny idea, but a little bit frustrating to play

alfadur 2014-12-09 23:31

Nice idea! I think the gameplay would benefit from people having some inertia instead of beelining straight towards the cat.

17 seconds! GOOOOOOAAAAAAL! Super awesome entry. One of my favourites so far. Very novel concept! Well done! :)

Good fun. I like the simple game mechanic. The graphics and animations were pleasing - the crowd is really cool.

orion_black 2014-12-10 19:14

No sure if a feature, but if you wait at the starting point for the guards? and just move on Y, they kind of crash into each other and lag for like 15 seconds. So waiting it out at the beginning it's kind of a dominant strategy. Also, a dash of sorts would add a lot to the game.

40 seconds BD

@orion_black is a bug.

Hope this weekend will be able to post a link to an alternative version fixing this bug and trying to make it a bit less hard.

Thank you for all your feedback, really appreciate it!

redoxkun 2014-12-10 21:35

Well, read that only certain bug fixes are allowed (guess that only critical) So, how isn't critical, will leave it like this for now.

Also say that agree with all of you that propose some ways for the cat to avoid people. Would be a great addition.

Simple and original! I liked the graphics. Good job!

bkgh 2014-12-11 17:05

AI didn't seem aggressive enough.

dream-of-sleeping 2014-12-11 19:52

You should have used a streaker rather than a cat! It was pretty fun. The graphics looks nice. The crowd loop would have been better if it was a bit longer. The first game took me ages to find where the cat starts at.

joekinley 2014-12-11 20:34

That was pretty hard. I couldn't get past the 9 second mark, somehow all those people seemed way faster than me.

The audio was cool, pretty stadium like, but needed a little more variety, because it looped too quickly, resulting in it feeling weird and annoying.

Good job in finishing something.

karol 2014-12-11 22:34

Managed to get to 1:05. The best strategy seems to be to move along the perimeters of the field. Also luck regarding the player positioning plays a big role. One time I got caught as I entered the field with 0:00 on the clock.

A very unusual game. Quite fun and surprisingly difficult. I really liked the graphics, but found the sound a bit repetitive.

barryrowe 2014-12-12 04:51

This is a great concept, and a fun mechanic. I just wish I had a limited-use, or cooldown dash move so that I could do more than just maximize my distance from the refs. Once they are close, you can't get away. Could only get up to 9 seconds :/

joror 2014-12-13 13:36

32 seconds is my max :D a bit more variety would be cool, but good fun base.

depp 2014-12-13 18:15

Fun, and delightfully simple! Could use an extra sound effect or two for the cat. At first I wasn't sure if it was a cat or a dog.

hbocao 2014-12-14 13:04

Very interesting concept. It could use little more variation like special movements or something. Overall, good job!

riocide 2014-12-14 17:46

22 seconds! I kind of abused a glitch a bit but funny idea! Audio could have used a bit more work but I like the direction!

ruerob 2014-12-15 02:29

Genius!!!

abdurrahmankh 2014-12-15 04:38

22! simple and fun.

zi 2014-12-15 07:42

I loved everything about this game except for how hard it was!

mechanicmoon 2014-12-15 17:43

Very nice concept! But its very hard move into the green, because people run more than the dor, or.. cat!

wdebowicz 2014-12-16 11:02

41 seconds! Very funny! I like the old style graphics, it remind me about pegasus games.

banana4life 2014-12-21 17:39

Great idea, but the AI isn't fun

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-22 19:54

Simple but fun game! poor cat. I Included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/3EfYtGD2H88

evanegibbs 2014-12-29 03:03

I love the concept! Haha I thought it was very funny. The ai is pretty good! I found that I would always get caught eventually. If you continue with this game it would be nice to see some variety, maybe in the people chasing you or with some powerups of some kind. Very nice entry though! :)
